    Note extensive use of citation standards, download statistics and citation statistics when they can get them. Also, co-sponsored by Minnesota Population Center (MPC) and some of the data totally free to all users.

    Each element could be thought of as a microservice. Perhaps something we could recommend or host locally.

    The Australian national data service site; cool because they distinguish between depositing data and registering its existence and each is a different service. Even though we're a single university, offering a registry might appeal to those sections of the U that are more interested in autonomy while still giving us some information about who does what here on campus.

  • Getting funds for data storage isn’t hard. It’s getting information for decision-making out of data that matters.

  • DC Principles Coalition: We believe in free access to science, within the constraints of our business models.
  • The public doesn’t need access to the full articles
  • The problem is that consumers want everything for free.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Repositories can do all the functions of journals except quality control, and we don’t want government doing that.
  • Social sciences often left out of discussions about data curation, open access, etc.
  • We could argue that taxpayers paid for the research in general, not necessarily each publication.
  • But the Public Access Policy requires the peer-reviewed manuscript, not the one after which the publishers add value. The America COMPETES model, for un-peer-reviewed grant proposals, is almost useless to the public. In health, you want the refereed results, not the grantee’s report to the agency.
  • If journals can’t survive, from an economic perspective, that’s not harm — it’s just a failure to adapt.
  • Journal growth trends with funding for researchers. As universities want to be more prestigious, they aim to publish more. Trying to have access to everything requires too much money — you have to prioritize.

      What are they talking about here?
  • But people in the libraries think that someone is supposed to do the work for them before they do anything — originally done by publishers.
